Cybersecurity for Schools, Colleges, and Universities
Protect your students, staff, systems, and reputation with layered, human-driven, AI augmented defense tailored for the education sector.
Why it Matters
Supporting Those Who Educate.
Class schedules, research grants, donor trust, and even enrollment numbers are on the line. And with lean IT teams, legacy infrastructure, and decentralized users, many schools struggle to respond fast enough.
Binary Defense brings proactive, 24/7 defense built around the attacker’s mindset so you can stay ahead of threats and focused on learning.
How It Works
Defend Learning at Every Layer
01 Detect Threats Before They Disrupt Learning
We monitor endpoint, cloud, identity, and network activity across your campus and remote classrooms. Ransomware, credential theft, and lateral movement are identified and stopped quickly.
Our threat hunters go beyond alerts and actively search for signs of compromise. Whether it’s insider abuse, rogue student servers, or targeted data theft, we investigate and escalate what others overlook.
We monitor the internet and dark web for spoofed .edu domains, leaked credentials, and impersonation campaigns. When we find something, we act fast to take it down.
Our analysts investigate reported phishing emails and determine the risk. We contain malicious messages, stop credential harvesting, and notify users before damage is done.
When a threat is confirmed, we isolate impacted devices or accounts immediately. You also get access to our analysts for on-demand investigation support to validate, scope, and respond to incidents.
We act as an extension of your team by tuning detections, sharing playbooks, and supporting the tools you already use. You stay in control while we strengthen your defense.
A large public university discovered multiple spoofed domains imitating its .edu presence, tricking prospective students and staff into phishing traps. Binary Defense's Digital Risk Protection team quickly took down the domains, notified affected users, and implemented monitoring to proactively catch future impersonation attempts.
02
Ransomware Detection Before Disruption:
A K-12 district faced a targeted ransomware campaign that began with stolen VPN credentials. Binary Defense MDR identified unusual lateral movement patterns and isolated the infected systems—preventing encryption of key infrastructure.
03
Protecting Research Environments from IP Theft:
A research university was targeted by a criminal actor attempting to exfiltrate sensitive research. Binary Defense collaborated with the institution’s IT security team, deploying custom behavioral detection rules and initiating a threat hunt that helped shut down the exfiltration pathway.
Testimonials
This Isn’t Theory. It’s What We Do Every Day.
The support from Binary Defense has been excellent. Our response times are phenomenal. Issues that previously took months to address are now being resolved quickly.
With Binary Defense Threat Hunting, we have skilled, experienced threat hunters watching and creating new detections for our environment at all times. We wouldn’t be able to afford that level of talent at an Energy Company of our size. They feel like they are an extension of our team.
